Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Ayodhya Prasad, affirming the trial court's finding that the appellants acted with common intention. The Court noted that the prosecution established the guilt beyond reasonable doubt through eyewitness testimonies and forensic evidence. The appeal against the life imprisonment sentence was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that self-defense must be substantiated by credible evidence, which was lacking in this case.
